1988 Map of Mc Donald

About this map

The Flathead River flows through the heart of the Flathead Indian Reservation in this 1988 update of Sanders County. This area shows a landscape defined by its water and industrial infrastructure, where the Northern Pacific railroad tracks parallel the river's northern bank near the settlement of Mc Donald. To the south, the topography rises sharply toward the peak of Son-yok Mtn, drained by a series of steep drainages including Magpie Creek, Gunderson Creek, and Revais Creek. A notable intersection of industry and geography is visible at the Green Mountain Mine, situated deep in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The map also documents essential irrigation and utility corridors, such as the Revais Canal and a prominent pipeline, which support the agricultural life of local holdings like Melton Ranch.
